Waves of DSP Innovation

• FIRST WAVE TELECOM
• Digitizing the phone system
• Modem data rates accelerating
• 1.2Kbps to 56Kbps
• DSL, Cable modems, 802.11
• Digital cell phones

• SECOND WAVE ENTERTAINMENT
• More performance
• Power dissipation issue
• Combined with telecom to create streaming media
• More personal more portable

WHAT IS THE THIRD WAVE?

Bringing New Quality-of-Life to Applications
Such as Artificial Vision
1000 pixels Allows mobility and face
recognition
16 pixels Provides the ability to see the
difference between night and day

Video Analytics the Key to Safety and Privacy

• Too many cameras, not enough people!
• People are ineffective at monitoring video for
  extended periods of time
• Video analytics needed to help operators do
  their job more effectively
• Without intelligence, video surveillance is a
  passive tool

18
Two Interesting Emerging Areas

• Energy harvesting (scavenging)
• Moving to the third dimension
• Heterogeneous multi-processing
• Stacked die

19
Perpetual Devices

• Power scavenging will be the source of energy
• Solar
• Heat
• Vibration
• Integrated batteries will backup the source of
  energy
• Ultra-low powered devices will include the
• Digital circuits
• Analog circuits
• RF circuits
• Sensors

20
Heterogeneous Multi-processor SoCs

• As we drive toward hundreds of processors on chip
  with more performance and less power, the
  possibilities are limitless
• With the ability to integrate Billions of
  transistors on a circuit, the rest of the system
  will find its way onto the SoC
• Integration will next take on the third dimension
